ROBERT DERRAH Bob ' I like work; it fascinates me. 1 could sit and look at it for hours. While walking along the corridor you may hear a somewhat raucous laugh echoing throughout Major Edwards. You know without a second thought that it belongs to Bob Derrah. If it weren ' t for Bob ' s laughing at nothing, our study halls wouldn ' t be the same. He is interested in mathematics, and with his mathematical mind, we know he will go far. Good luck. Bob! Opportunity is yours for the taking!

ALBERT ANTHONY AL There was never yet philosopher, That could endure the toothache patiently. Even though A1 has a serious expression on his face, don ' t let that fool you, for his sudden remarks aside will surprise anyone who doesn ' t know him. Often he keeps a perfectly straight face while saying something perfectly hilarious. A1 aspires to be a dentist and we know that with his good looks and nice smile he won ' t cause his patients any pain. Good luck, A1 ! Assistant Manager Basketball 1; Spanish Club 2, 3; Junior Prom Committee 3; Junior Play Committee 3 RICHARD BONCI Jensen O, what may man within him hide, Though angel on the outside! Hail to our class treasurer who has seen to it that the books have been kept well balanced. Jensen is the fun-loving member of the class who always seems to be engrossed in deep conversation during Mr. Eaton ' s U. S. history classes. He has been a great asset to the basketball team during the past years and also to his class. We know that Jensen will be a great success in whatever he under- takes.

Jim is the comedian with the corn-coloured hair who usually squeaks in just before the bell in the morning while the other students keep Mrs. Severance ' s attention occupied. Jim ' s cracks in class are show-stoppers and he often drives the teachers to distraction by his crazy actions. He can often be found at Wes Warren ' s gas station, gassing with the boys. Jim plans to go to college and we know that he will succeed in whatever field he enters.

WINIFRED HUBBARD Winnie O Music, sphere-descended maid, Friend of Pleasure, Wisdom ' s aid! Winnie, the girl with the graceful walk and dignified manner, is not only the most studious and the most versatile senior but she is also the most argumentative. Her personality and the ability to play the piano well will get her far into the world. What would the students of M. E. H. S. have done if they hadn ' t had Winnie to pound out sweet music to their listening ears? We are sure that with all her talent she will go far in her musical career at Vermont Junior College. Good luck, Winnie!

The attractive blonde sitting in the second row can often be heard laughing at something. Pearl is rarely frowning and most often smiling. Her skill in the commercial department has proved a great help to the class. Pearl has her driver ' s license and usually her car is full as she drives to and from school. She plans to be an office secretary. Some firm will be lucky to have Pearl on its office staff. Best of luck. Pearl!

If you walk into M. E. H. S. some day and walk down the corridor toward Room No. 1, you will hear a ringing voice proclaiming, No, Mr. Eaton, 1 don ' t think that ' s so! Well, that ' s our boy Howie Johnston. Charming and good-looking, he is very popular with everyone, especially with the members of the oppo- site sex. A very busy boy, with all his offices and outside activities, Howie still manages to keep his A-plus marks. He is planning to go to college and with his charm and ability he ' ll make a good success story later on. Good luck, Howie.
